Anthony Martial nets hat-trick as Man United beat Sheffield Utd at Old Trafford
Anthony Martial scored a fine hat-trick as Manchester United brushed aside Sheffield United at Old Trafford to boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
Martial netted a first-half brace before rounding off his treble 16 minutes from time as United dominated from start to finish with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes starting together for the first time.
Robin Van Persie was the last man to net three times in a league game for the Red Devils.

It was in final stages of Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign at Old Trafford when they beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home.
Martial broke the deadlock when he collected a pass from Rashford and chipped it over Sheffield United goalkeeper to extend the lead and keep man united in the race of champions league qualification.
Rashford assisted in the first and third goal while Wan-Bissaka assisted with the second goal.
This is an inspiration that United as long urge for to lit up Old Trafford.
Odion Ighalo was also denied by Sheffield goalkeeper.
